F1 champion calls for RADICAL ban with new ‘campaign’
1996 F1 champion Damon Hill has started a social media campaign to ban front wings in the sport, reminiscing about the simpler days when cars like his Williams FW18 had fewer aerodynamic appendages.
Despite the advancements in F1 since Hill’s championship, the nostalgia for the balanced and fast cars of the past is strong.
Hill’s recent post, praising a front wing-less design of the past, has sparked discussions on the role of front wings in modern F1 cars.
The introduction of front wings to F1 dates back to the Lotus 49B in 1968, leading to a trend of adding aerodynamic elements to enhance performance.
As the debate over the necessity of front wings continues, technological advancements and regulatory changes in F1 shape the future direction of the sport.
